Next up on Kuukou is an release from Thailand born, Berlin based Nakadia who shares the fruits of a highly productive lockdown in the form of a trio of tight, modular bombs. Wild Girl is Nakadias first 100\%\% modular production; a patchwork of ideas stitched into a monstrous cut brimming with big room drama. Detroit-coded rhythms are pinned to the floor by a suction sub bass while serrated sonics burst and decorate the groove. The vibe is hot, intensely lively and eminently fun. The Groove Mix of Pleasure Me rolls out in a slightly more skeletal fashion but is equally guaranteed to rattle rigs. Another throbbing sub acts as a ballast for an arsenal of flexible, metallic tones. A long, high-pressure breakdown is stretched out with large spaces and full floors in mind. The Rave Mix of Pleasure Me is a more galvanised version, armoured with thicker drums set to a slightly quicker pace. Shuttering synths colour a wide-eyed breakdown that snaps with an electric intensity that caps off a satisfying encapsulation of Nakadias inimitable spirit.

In this barren, silent world, the monolith inside the portal is not a doorway. It is a vessel. A construct formed from the emotional energy of those who step close enough to be affected by it. In this dimension, cathexis becomes physical law: every feeling, desire, obsession, or unresolved memory condenses into matter. Over time, these layered intensities have shaped the towering monolith, an archive of countless internal worlds turned outward. The lone figure standing before it knows that once they step through the threshold, something deeply personal will manifest, something they may not fully understand until they see it towering over them. In this place, the world is not shaped by history or nature. It is shaped by the weight of what you carry. APHE debuts on VISION SERPENT with CATHEXIS, delivering his unmistakable minimal techno finesse in the title track. Precise drums, tight grooves, and subtle melodic sparks drive a clean yet gripping flow that locks instantly into motion. CONNECTED shifts into darker territory, built on an ominous, brooding pulse that slowly tightens its grip as layers slide in and out of shadow. Closing the release, AKA NINA twists Connected into a cruel, raw horror-edged reinterpretation: stripped down, sharpened, and rebuilt with cold, serrated intensity.
